That's a bold statement of fact, considering even the most avid proponents of evolution refer to it as "theory".
Not a great troll... poignant, with a hint of maple... but lacking in the body and depth that a really rich, warm troll should have... I'll have to give this one star, I'm afraid.
Jokes aside, if they can regenerate limbs, surely its just a hop skip and a jump to regenerate organs? If we can do that, immortality is just around the corner...
we should have no problem outengineering most of the human body.
Yes and then the batteries in your cyberleg run down and you have to haul the entire 40 kilo hunk of metal across town in the rain... on one leg. Besides that you are forgetting that the limbs aren't seperate components of the body; its all interlinked. Its no good having an arm able to flip over a truck, your torso would compact and tear itself apart if you didn't just rip the thing off, nerve circuits and all. The only real option for enhanced performance cybernetics would be a Ghost in the Shell effort, with full body replacement except for the brain. If you can manage that, without regular maintenance and some sort of 50 year power source, I'll admit you have a point.
Or equally right up there with most "brits" calling me a drunken mick.:D Ouchie. The truth hurts, I've never seen a brit not get terribly upset by that slur. If it was fallacious you'd think they could laugh it off... A bit like I do with the drunken mick crap. Of course being sole owner of a multinational company with just robber baron margins tends to shut them up fairly rapidly. Ár lá is ansin, a mhac.
They can put together something that sails from broken masts and torn sails etc and limp in to port.
Aren't you a lot better not having sails or masts that can break in the first place? Combining your motive power with the area that takes the most strain doesn't seem like the best idea, at least when you have alternatives. Yes, sailing ships can tack into the wind, but its not what I'd call optimal.
Just using a crude area approximation for the ship's dimensions and, say, 33% efficiency for solar cells you would get about 1630 kW of power, or about 2180 horsepower. 2180 horsepower won't even move a ship that size fast enough to maintain steerage.
Thats why you build the ships with two or three hulls, as the design on their website displays, and stretch your solar panel sheet over the top. Same small drag, drastically increased surface area.
Well I and a lot of others find it offensive. The term IRISH would have been perfectly descriptive, don't you think? Since this has nothing to do with the UK.
Well when the greeks try to occupy your country for a few centuries (and fail, hahahah) you can call me back. Its Britain and Ireland. How hard is that to remember? Do you have difficulties with seeing Cuba as part of Mexico?
Oh they were begging for that, but its was up the choccy starfish anyway. You have to let them know who's the boss. Most saxons are so inbred anyway you have a fighting chance of knocking one up with a little manhole operation. Eh didn't I hear prince "we're lucky he doesn't have antennae" Charles had an abortion once?
Its still not part of the British Isles.
As well as which its perfectly accurate to call it the Republic of Ireland; I'm not sure what you are correcting here.
Hahah, I love how it gets the brits all hackled up. Not Yours. Heres a link to a very recent discussion board just FILLED with posts from Irish people who think you're wrong. So tis you who is confused. Sorry about that. Maybe a little more education next time, hey?

And heres a very very recent online poll done of Irish people (not Irish Americans) stating that the term British Isles is offensive to aforementioned Irish people. Take your west brits, rum, sodomy and the lash, and stay on your smog shrouded little rock. Cheees, mate.
But sure don't all English people take it up the arse? Its a well known fact! Lord knows every english bird I've ever known does.:D Whats your name, maybe you're related?
Oh and one other point, its not the British Isles, submitter. Except in Britain. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, its the Republic of Ireland, something that irritates the brits no end.:D
I really think you would want to check out what kinds of measures the British government took during the Blitz before making those kinds of statements.
And I really think you want to check out the attitude of the British people during the blitz. "Business as usual", comes to mind.

Good argument. Well thought out, cogent, hits all the logical points of discussion. Who's embarassing again?

Hey, he's (or possibly its) your monarch, not mine. Rum sodomy and the lash, the pride of britain. Lollers.
See that poll on top there sodomite? :D

That would be the Republic of Ireland, thanks.

Hey, asshole. Viruses are just malicious code.
Thats trojans. There are a great many worms which are the OSs fault. Dur.
There is no OS-level defense against this except for trusted computing.
Run in an non admina ccount, nothing overwrites anything. Durrr Duh.
What a virus scanner would do is see that script, recognise it's evil and warn you.
You mean a malware scanner. Durr huhuduh.
So a virus scanner actually has to look at executables and see if they've been changed.
Wouldn't be changed in a non admin account. Duhhh huh durr.
So please, stop the bullshit. Acting like viruses are MS's problem just drips with stupidity.
And you drip with the POWER OF THE SHILL!!1!.
I'm 100% with Bruce on this one, well said that man. For an appropriate response to terror tactics, see London during the blitz.
Nah. Its you who will be shutting the fuck up.

Your son is probably an extreme introvert (unless he has some other mental illness -- certain drugs can treat shyness).
